Let's talk about Money making apps

 I've been using a lot of money apps on my phone. And here are my assessments of the ones I currently use:

Swagbucks, member since 2014

Referral link: https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/AngeliaSparrow
Total earnings: 979.82
How: I take surveys, play trivia and other games, visit websites and watch videos. Sometimes, when I shop, I get kickbacks: 2 cents on bananas or apples or bread.

Rate: 1 swagbuck=1 cent
Payouts: Paypal or Giftcards

Pros: Steady, pays out. Has been around for a long time. Huge selection of gift cards. Can get one $25 visa per month for 2175 swag points.
Cons: Slow. Most things earn a few cents. Be careful of offers that require you to spend money
Payouts: Paypal, virtual visa, gift cards

My Rec: One of my better earners. I make at least $25/month


Fetch Rewards, since 2018

This app is on your phone.

Referral link: BV9VC

Total earnings: $45
How: Take pictures of your receipts: grocery, gas, restaurant, misc in the app. Every receipt is worth at least 25 coins. Brand names get you more.


Rate: 100 coins=$1
Payouts: Gift cards, sweepstakes entries, magazine subscriptions, cash cards, charity donations. 

Pros: Everything earns. Easy conversion factor. Brands (Pedigree wet dog food=2000 pts, so $2) earn more. HUGE selection of giftcards: restaurants, retail, travel, etc. This even has Delta Airlines' gift cards
Cons: VERY slow. Every receipt is 2.5 cents. 


My Rec: Use in conjunction with other receipt apps to maximize


NCP: since 2019

Referral code 135A92A

Total earnings: $60
How: Scan every item you buy. You get points for this, and bonus points for doing it weekly. There are also surveys that pay about 15c for 3-5 minutes.


Rate: 10 points= 1 cent
Payouts: Gift cards, with decreasing cost as the amount goes up $5=5000, 10=9000, $25=21,000 $50=41000 points.

Pros: Steady earner.
Cons: Not a transparent rate for how you get paid per receipt. Scanning after every shopping trip is a nuisance. And the gift card variety is limited to 9 choices: Amazon, Apple, Delta, Fandango, Google Play, Groupon, Spotify, Uber and Visa

My Rec:
Use in combination. 


Receipt Pal: since 2019

Referral link: none

Total earnings: ?? About 20, from what I can gather based on old posts
How: Scan receipt with app. Can also check for e-receipts


Rate: 25 points per receipt. about 6 cents/receipt. 88 receipts=$5
Payouts: Amazon or Retail gift card, cost decreasing as denomination rises. $5=2200, $10=4000, $25=9250


Pros: Good payout per receipt
Cons: stripped down app, no history. Easy to forget.

:My Rec: Make it a priority to remember. 


Ibotta 

Referral code: mcpiwnp


Total earnings: 241.93
How: Scan receipts after shopping


Rate: 1 cent=1 cent, it gives straight cash back
Payouts: Paypal, gift cards (76 choices from Ace hardware to Zappos)


Pros: Easy to understand. Easy to use. Does a free Thanksgiving dinner (reimburses you for everything)
Cons: A lot of brand name stuff. No discounts on gift cards.


My Rec: Definitely one to use. Referrals are huge.


Coin Out: Since 2019

Referral link: none


Total earnings:
about $30
How: scan your receipt and it gives you a random amount of money, from 2 cents to 15 cents


Rate:
1 cent=1 cent, straight cash back
Payouts: Amazon gift card, bank, paypal


Pros:
Easy. Actual money
Cons: Cannot cashout until $20, amount is random, no history in app


My Rec:
Not a lone earner, but might as well grab the two cents while you're scanning the other items.

Receipt Hog: since 2020

Referral code:buk46797


Total earnings:
$15
How: scan the receipts, take surveys and spin the free slot machine (a reward for scanning in a receipt every week)


Rate:
2 coins=1 cent. $5=1000, 15=2900, 25=4300 and 40=6500
Payouts: Amazon, visa, Paypal


Pros:
Easy, just scan when hitting the others.
Cons: Slow build. Not transparent on how many coins/receipt


My Rec:
Add in with the others. A two second photograph is worth the pennies it pays.


Shopkick since 2015

Referral link: MALL751055


Total earnings:
255. I didn't do much with it until 2020.
How: watch videos, walk into stores, scan items in stores, buy items and scan receipts


Rate: 
1 kick=0.4 cents, 10 kicks=4 cents. Walk-ins are usually 10 kicks. Most scan items are 10-20 kicks, some go as high as 50 kicks. Buying items is between 200-1000 kicks (80 cents-$4)
Payouts: Paypal or gift cards


Pros: 
Easy to use. Accumulates fast.
Cons: Requires some dedication.


My Rec:
Definitely a good earner. But only buy stuff you ordinarily would.


Mistplay
 

Referral link: none


Total earnings:
235
How: Play online games. Download the game through the app and open it. Play. As you reach each level, you accumulate gems. Gems can be traded for gift cards


Rate:
1 gem=0.3 cents. 10 gems=3cents
Payouts: Paypal, gift cards: Amazon, Visa, Google play, Uber Eats, Xbox, Game stop, Playstation, Starbucks, Ebay, H&M, Ninentendo, Sephora, Spotify


Pros:
Money for playing games I would play anyway. Will also log games being played on other apps like Cash Alarm, Coin pop and Rewarded Play
Cons: Keep an eye on how much the games pay. Level gems stop after level 20.


My Rec
: If you play anything, even candy crush, play here. Always have this one, especially if you're using the others.


Cash Alarm 1 week

Referral link: https://affiliate.justtrack.io/android/online.cashalarm.app/6fafa657-3571-4354-88db-f53b5a70ce60?channel=intent

Payouts: Paypal, Amazon, Playstation, BJs, Starbucks, Nike, TGIFridays, Walmart


Pros:
super easy. Games also earn for Mistplay.
Cons: The time needed to earn coins rises to ridiculous lengths the longer you play. At one point, I had an app that would pay me 400 coins if I played for 2 months solid without sleep.


My Rec:
Use but keep an eye on the times. If it's starting to take more than 20 minutes to get your coins, get a new games.


Coin Pop 1 week

Referral link: https://affiliate.justtrack.io/android/company.coinpop.coinpop/41a85415-0532-4a3d-a847-8e342f125270?channel=intent

Total earnings: 2.50

How: play online games. Get paid for time played


Rate:
9898 coins = $1, amount per minute varies by game. Amount decreases to 9133 coins=1 at $20.
Payouts: Paypal, Amazon, Playstation, BJs, Starbucks, Nike, TGIFridays, Walmart, X box, Google Play


Pros:
Easy. Levels get credited at Mistplay
Cons: Sometimes has trouble loading. They pay in Euros, just a heads up

My Rec: If you like playing phone games, definitely


Rewarded Play 1 week

Referral link: https://rewards.onelink.me/cAg8/9a1b8059


Total earnings:
$10
How: Play online games. Get points for installing, for play time, for levels, and for micro transactions


Rate:
9000 points=$5, 1800=$1, 18 points=1c.
Payouts: Gift cards. Good variety

Pros: Easy. If you earn 5000 pts/day, you get a bonus too. Points accrue quickly.
Cons: Most of the points come from microtransactions. An app may say it can pay out 1,095,300 coins, but only 9200 come from playing. the other 1086100 come from the purchases.


My Rec:
Play if you like, but don't spend money to make money. If you already spend money on these games, might as well get a kickback
